‘Kill the Boer”: South African Politician Threatens White Farmers with Violence, NYT Plays Apologist
Elon Musk: “They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa.”
The U.S. and Western politicians remained largely silent after a leading South African politician publicly used a genocidal slogan against the country’s beleaguered white farmers.
Last weekend, the leader of the South Africa’s far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, Julius Malema and thousands of his supporters chanted “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer” at the party’s 10th-anniversary rally at a Johannesburg stadium. The incident once again highlights the plight of the country’s white Afrikaner minority of predominantly Dutch origin that has increasingly suffered violence and displacement in recent years.
In 2013, Malema-led EFF broke away from President Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress (ANC). The party has since emerged as a challenger to the ANC, which has run the country for nearly 30 years since the end of the Apartheid regime.

“Right-wing commenters claim that an old anti-apartheid chant is a call to anti-white violence, but historians and the left-wing politician who embraces it say it should not be taken literally,” the NYT shamefully purported.
“In recent years, people on the right in South Africa and the United States, including former President Donald J. Trump, have seized on attacks on white farmers to make the false claim that there have been mass killings,” the daily complained.
“Despite the words, the song should not be taken as a literal call to violence, according to Mr. Malema and veterans and historians of the anti-apartheid struggle. It has been around for decades, one of many battle cries of the anti-apartheid movement that remain a defining feature of the country’s political culture,” the newspaper told its gullible readership.
Playing apologist for genocidal maniacs is nothing new for the NYT. In a 2017 opinion piece, the daily tried to rehabilitate the Islamic war-cry of “Allahu Akbar,” playing it down as a harmless ‘everyday phrase.’
The New York Times actually has the nerve to support calls for genocide! If ever there was a time to cancel that publication, it is now.

Elon Musk speaks up as politicians stay silent
While Western politicians remained quiet, South African-born tech billionaire and Twitter owner Elon Musk raised the issue.
They are actually killing white farmers every day. It’s not just a threat.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 5, 2023
In recent years, President Donald Trump has been the only Western leader to address the plight of White South Africans. In a 2018 tweet, President Trump asked the State Department to “study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers.”
In his memoir, President Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton, described how his boss was considering asylum for the White farmers: Vanity Fair, June 2020:
Bolton describes how Trump derailed a White House meeting about Iran strategy by bringing up a right wing conspiracy that Black South Africans were killing white South African farmers and stealing their land. According to Bolton, Trump blurted out that he wanted to grant the white South Africans “asylum and citizenship.”
Trump took a lot of heat for weighing in on the issue. The NYT accused the president of ‘racism’ for talking about farm killings. “Trump’s South Africa Tweet Seems to Embrace Racist Narrative on Land Dispute,” an August 2018 headline claimed.
2018 Pres Trump tweeted and asked Sec Pompeo to look into the #FarmMurders .
This was his response @elonmuskSince then more than 300 farmers were killed in brutal attacks. pic.twitter.com/2AZWWwtlBk

South Africa going the way of Zimbabwe?
While reliable census data aren’t easily available, white people are thought to be about 7% of South Africa’s 60 million population. A large part of them are Boer farmers who speak Afrikaans, a Dutch dialect.
The Boers, many of them deeply-religious Christians with Protestant Calvinists roots, are increasingly facing racially-motivated attacks. The farm attacks come in the wake of political demands for the confiscation and ‘redistribution’ of their land. A similar campaign has succeeded in driving out white farmers in neighboring Zimbabwe, and it turned Africa’s bread basket into a basket case.
According to a South African NGO Afriforum, there were 395 farm attacks and 59 farm murders between April 2020- March 2021. Describing one such gruesome killing the report noted:
On 5 February 2021, the charred bodies of an elderly couple were discovered in Gauteng [near Johannesberg]. The couple was tortured outside of their house; hair, nails and blood found at the scene provided proof of this horrendous event. The couple was then dragged inside their house. It is believed that the couple was shot before the house was set on fire, but not before they were tied up on the floor next to each other. A Bible was placed between the couple; thereafter a heater was switched on with curtains placed on top of it.
Unfortunately, murders like these are not isolated incidents.

Ace had something on this so looked up what I suspected, lots of versions on YouTube
Guess committing genocide is not against their policy.
These maniacs are spewing nothing different than some members of the United States Congress.
An inspiring song
The political effect is killing off of the smart people and producing a government idiocracy. Haiti never recovered from 1804.
You need a certain percent of smart people to keep a place going.
America has been doing the same by promoting our dumbest people, just like they they are doing in Africa. It pleases me that Trump advocated bringing white south Africans to America. Like usual, Trump was right.
Democrats will fight that tooth and nail.
I have used a number of methods to try to determine IQ of slaves when they were imported from Africa.
1) Was by examining descriptions in letters about slaves capabilities.
2) Was by calculating a weighed average based on current average IQ, numbers by point of origin.
3) By looking at average IQ of Liberia, which was populated by former slaves.
I understand that these are imprecise, and that they likely overstate IQ.
Bottom line is that slaves IQ was generally between 40 & 64.
While I understand that slavery was demeaning, I think that on balance slaves greatly benefited from being in America, that their descendants and are most certainly better of here that their ancestors who remained in Africa.
No one has control of their IQ, but it is not America’s fault that evolution produced higher intelligence in some races were left behind by evolution.
Based on the photo the weighted average IQ has not increased much, but the average weight has.
Well that’s cr@p. Number 1 invalidates your whole premise since the writers were motivated to show the slaves were subhuman.
I disagree with that your ‘on balance’ point. Demeaning? It’s rather ‘degrading, inhumane, destructive, completely and utterly wrong.’
Are they better off being here today? Probably as most of us are better off being here rather than the ‘old country’, wherever the old country is located.
This stuff is here and public. Listen to Farrakhan and realize he has given several addresses at graduations, honors in several cities, and other accolades.
So did Hitler. So did Stalin. So did Mao.
Apartheid was mean-spirited, but it wasn’t the worst thing after all. The current setup actually is worse. I am going to try to say this in the least racist way possible, but what was an oppressed majority by numbers is now a low-intelligence, high-vengeance powerful and dangerous political monopoly in that country.
You can have a person like Mandela….a reformed criminal who had good intentions that can easily set up a failure state by what will come after his time in office. I tell this to Bernie bros all the time that don’t seem to get it. No matter how well-meaning your benevolent but totalitarian state planner is, the people will eventually be crushed by the actions of their ill-willed political descendants given the green light by prior precedents.
The globalist media have downplayed how bad things are in SA. The crime is awful, their power grid has been in need of repair for decades. Every time a contractor is paid to fix it, the current political thieves take the money and siphon it off so that nothing actually gets repaired. Power is out for most of the day in that country. Generators are in short supply. The Boers that fled the city into farm country knowing full well what was going to happen are now being targeted more than ever. All of them have known for years that they needed an exit plan in case the greedy come for their farms. They’ve been mocked and gaslighted and called racists for years. The obvious evidence of the criminal chaos in cities is covered up by defensive accusations of racism by those with the motive to do so. Sound familiar?
“You can have a person like Mandela….a reformed criminal “…. as I noted below… sort of yes and no. He was able to comfortably fit into the suit that was tailored for him. He still was a silent Marxist.
Sounds like where Chicago is headed?
Cities like Detroit and Baltimore are already there. Although to be fair, Portland, Seattle and the Twin Cities – none of which are more than 20% black – are headed there too. So it looks like it is very much the result of Marxism regardless of a citiy’s demography.
The smart whites left 30 years ago. Those who remain need to beat feet out of there ASAP, and start over from scratch in another country. This is not going to get better as far as racial harmony, and if you are not black and you stay there will be no one coming to save you [especially Americans, given the current regime]. Choices made have consequences that cannot be avoided.
Subotai Bahadur
It is tough … leaving one’s home… the home of one’s forbearers for hundreds of years. But you are correct… just a sure as Kissinger and the rest abandoned Rhodesia to the Communists (Mugabe/China and Nkomo/USSR). a blind eye is turned for the needed “payback”. The USA is not far behind in some areas of the country. Maybe the US State Department should issue REAL travel advisories for cities (and states)… LOL.
It is tough, but necessary. You don’t want to be in the trail vehicle of the last convoy out of an area that has descended into a dystopian hellscape. The smart play is to leave before then b/c no one is going to come save your ass if you choose to wait and hope things get better. Things won’t get better until the cycle runs its course. See Detroit, they still haven’t hit rock bottom which is why they haven’t improved.
More South African farmers have been murdered than in Zimbabwe. Whites have been reduced to second class citizens as well as the mixed race. Such a wonderful nation that has a constitution that RBG loved. (Spoiler: It’s ignored just likes ours). Professional schools are now closed to whites.
Going back in time…. there was the “One settler-one bullet” battle cry….. and a white girl was shot and killed… an American girl in ZA supporting the anti-apartheid factions. The major tribes now ruling ZA were not indigenous to region. Yet they see others as interlopers … to ZA and Africa….Black Africa.
I continue to get updates from the State Department about the dangers of traveling to ZA. ..all the good stuff…murder, robbery, rape.. I passed through there on the way to Zim years ago. On the stop over we were driven out away from Jo’burg until the plane ride. My PH in Zim took me up to a hill that overlooked a valley and in the valley his former house and land taken by the Mugabe ZANU-PF.
The Zim farms were the breadbasket of Africa. The choicest of the farms taken were given to the elite… who had zero knowledge of farming and the rest broken up into individual plots… too small for major planting but the idea of giving people back “their” land… equity in action. Oh this was lauded by the press as giving people a chance to prosper.
As bad as apartheid was… it wasn’t as bad as this. Mandela was offered early release from prison if he abandoned violence. He wouldn’t… for that he was given fame. When the people are worse off than before (under colonial rule), all of the promises made have been a sham….. Milton had it right about them.
We can’t do anything about South Africa but we could take note of which news agencies are backing the descent towards barbarism.
Which ones AREN’T?
I mean, it’s a good thing that American citizens are fully informed about this racist holocaust due to the nightly news stories about it… isn’t it?
Fortunately we are no longer dependent on the old legacy media monopoly of 3 broadcast networks, 2 wire services and less than a handful of National newspapers with foreign correspondents.
New media and the internet connects us all in seconds. Can tech and govt seek to suppress news or information? Absolutely, but it still gets out past the censorship due to the sheer # of folks posting it. A.trickle that joins another and before long the flood of pent up info and news surges out to the broader public awareness.
“Despite the words, the song should not be taken as a literal call to violence…”
Africa is called ‘the dark continent’ for good reason.
Give the farmers amnesty and refugee status. They can’t be any worse that the Ethiopians we accepted.
I would salt the land and set my house on a timer to self immolate after I escaped the New Zimbabwe.
Do any of these countries get better after they chase out the “bad white farmers?” That’s a rhetorical question, by the way.
I had a Social Studies teacher in the 9th grade who talked wonders of South Africa and the surrounding area. IHe spent some time living there and had learned some of the languages. I wonder what he would think of it today.
I have been through the Johannesburg airport only one time. There were soldiers with battle rifles in the restrooms because so many people had previously been beaten/robbed/killed in them recently.
Wow, that’s messed up.
This so much reminds me of a SNL sketch from the early 80’s, back when they were actually funny.

Sometimes we get lots and lots of advance warning….
Vile Leftists and Dumb-o-crats have a long history of whitewashing, rationalizing and excusing terrorism and violence when they’re committed by their favored groups and/or constituencies.
Just look at the utterly despicable, grotesque and indefensible rationalizations of Arab Muslim, so-called “Palestinian” terrorism, with the manifestly evil slogan, ” ‘Resistance’ isn’t terrorism.”
Also, one must ask the question, is there anything on Earth that the vile and stupid Leftists/Dumb-o-crats/neo-communists won’t destroy with their malignant, corrosive and spiteful rhetoric and policies?
Even with its myriad historical social problems, as recently as a few years ago, South Africa was held up as a socioeconomic model for the rest of Africa to emulate; the most prosperous and economically successful country on the continent.
Now, it’s heading the way of Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Somalia. “Failed State” seems to be the imminent item on the menu.
T.I.A.
(in Rhodesian accent).
Getting out into the bush does stir the soul as long as you don’t mistakenly bounce a black rhino, tuskless female elephant with calf or step on a black mamba. Was in the Zambezi Valley years ago…. on safari….. in the morning we awoke to all the outside chairs chewed to shreds… hyenas had rummaged the camp. It’s a food chain thing of which animal has the momentary upper hand. Sounds like are Darwinian Democrat world…. now that I think of it.
Bring the white SA’s to America. Within three years they’ll turn deserts into Edens. By the same token, within a year after they leave, the ANC will be legalizing cannibalism as a viable food source.
Julius Malema and thousands of his supporters chanted “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer” at the party’s 10th-anniversary rally at a Johannesburg stadium.
They seem like nice people …
All aid to Africa should end. It is a zero sum situation, a total waste of resources. No amount of money will fix Africa, stop interfering with natural selection.
The continent is rapidly being subjugated by the CCP….. Huge loans, default and the the CCP takes and takes,
The joke’s on China. What are they going to take? Unless the Chinese are willing to invade and occupy them they won’t be able to force the Africans to pay them back squat. And what do the Africans care if they are cut off from China? Africans can do without modern stuff with no problem. Most don’t have anything modern, as it is. What are the Chinese going to do, drive Africa back to the Stone Age? LOL.
Africa is a mess – sub-saharan Africa, we’re talking about. It’s always a mess. Everywhere. The only time Africa wasn’t a mess was when they were colonized and others were running things. Of course, there was the brief salt empire of Timbuktu, but that’s pretty much it. You had the Nubians for a while, but that was millenia ago.
The Chinese will find out that they have been giving money to Nigerian Princes who promised to send them 100 times as much in return …
Metals and minerals
gonzotx,
Yep, those plus substantial oil and gas. It isn’t as the Chinese have a history peaceful occupation or subjugation over territory they decide is in their interests to control. Even before the end of the Ming dynasty the Chinese had.a brutal reputation in Asia and near east.
“The joke’s on China. What are they going to take? Unless the Chinese are willing to invade and occupy them they won’t be able to force the Africans to pay them back squat. ”
They are getting away with it in the USA. The upper crust of society likes the babbles that the CCP offers and want to keep the goodies coming.
China will build military bases.
Just look at them smiling in the top photo.
Singing, smiling black people… coming to kill you.
Worthy of a Black Mirror moment.
In opposition to what all the moron western college people teachers and students say these are the real communists and they are here to take charge. Mass starvation and death in SA is coming soon.
To be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me to see mass starvation and death in some regions of America soon, since those parts are run by people who are just as stupid and corrupt as those in SA.
The power grid in SA is already collapsing. Even the Communist apologists in the Western media can’t hide it.
They are just going “green” and those sacrifices should be praised….. /s
I wonder if the Biden Border policy would allow White South Africans asylum or do they have to stay and die?
Stay and die
The SAs are the people we need to allow to immigrate to America not the trash that’s pouring over our southern border. Also, the people of Taiwan and other places such as Ukraine are the people that we want. These are productive people who can contribute to our country, not the welfare, uneducated crowd Biden is allowing in. If the Taiwanese companies were allowed to bring their chip manufacturing companies and equipment with them, it would make the US the number one chip producer in the world. The wheat growers of Ukraine feed the world and could turn vast areas of unused land here into productive farms. What are the illegals coming in now offering our great nation? Nothing but possible cheap labor and many new welfare recipients.
You are right, people you have mentioned would improve our gene pool and long term competitiveness. At the same time we should be expelling illegals, A good incentive would be to privatize their deportation with a bounty, dead or alive. They would leave or suffer the consequence’s.
The present Marxist-Racialist leadership in the West will never let them in. Their best chance is to go to Eastern Europe, including Russia.
Wrong color
When Big Don returns to office, he should give the Boer farmers money to come to Mexico and swim the Rio Grande. Watch the Lefties start howling for ‘border security’ then.
Expulsions of illegals would make the howl at max volume.
THE CHILDREN!!!!!
If we handle Dems right, giving the all that they have coming, they will be fleeing with illegals.
It’s just a chant — like “we’re coming for your children.”
The problem is that the blacks of South Africa, like much of the black Community here, and almost all Palestinians – have a society that has hatred of the “enemy” as its core purpose. The goal has become to subjugate and even kill that hated enemy at any cost, even their own destruction.
Palestinians have become such psychotic, raging hating monsters, that they would be willing to die at the hands of Israeli nukes if that was the price of destroying Israel.
In the case of the USA and SA, the collapse of the society is a price that most of them consider worth paying. The revenge becomes the “justice” and that “justice” is all that matters.
Marxism, being a failed economic system, just makes things worse.
By the way, I thought I would tie this in to the thread, as the good professor, myself, and numerous others here are MOTs:
40 years ago, there were 120,000 Jews in South Africa. Today there are half that and going down. The ruling ANC, being Marxist, loves its Islamonazi Palestinians, hates Israel and Jews, and is possibly the most virulently anti-Semitic regime outside of a majority Islamic nation.
As I recall, Malema is even more extreme on this than the ANC.
I met a couple of white South African farmers on a tour of Italy in 2013. He was of Portugese descent, and his family had been in South Africa for 300 years. They became very friendly with the Australians on the tour. I personally believe they were creating links to other commonweath countries, in case they had to flee. It’s a shame. The farmers of South Africa, especially Zimbabwe, were successful farmers able to feed their countries and even export food. African tribal existence does not seem interested in safeguarding the future. Substinence living suits them just fine. So I don’t think the white farmers can be replaced by native ones. It seems to me that winds of political change are sweeping out the whites, and welcoming the Chinese. We will have to see how this turns out for them long term. I am not optomistic.
Sweeping?
Murdering
No matter where in the world, a certain demographic turns everything to $hit.
Proposals grouped under the term “Expropriation Without Compensation,” or EWC, would confiscate White farmers’ land, buildings and machinery. In Zimbabwe and Venezuela, similar “reforms” immediately caused food production to collapse — huge amounts of suffering, hunger and even starvation.
It’s obviously going to happen again.
Things that make you go hmmm: https://voxday.net/2023/08/04/one-race-the-canine-race/
We will have to see how this turns out for them long term. I am not optomistic.

a malan, no less, wrote of this coming trend in the eighties–mandela (and, even worse, his wife) had no interest in “justice” or “equality” for the “people”–mandela was all about power and retribution–knew a few sa folks fairly well and several of them used the term ” tainted vengeance ” at the time as a descriptor for the coming storm– prophetic indeed–like you, am not optimistic for the “people” or their country
NYT: “Right-wing commenters claim that an old anti-apartheid chant [calling for murdering white people] is a call to anti-white violence, but historians and the left-wing politician who embraces it say it should not be taken literally,”
Yet, the displaying today of what had been a Confederate flag is anathema?

South Africa is collapsing. After Mandela the Black party running the country took over all companies, which includes energy, water, transportation, and food. They are eliminating whites through genocide and via the whites leaving. Also other races are leaving.
The issue is that the South Africa is having is what happened to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) that caused it to collapse. Zimbabwe has recently asked for whites to come back and farm since they are in such a bad state.
To all who say “the joke’s on China…”
China doesn’t take jokes by people they consider inferior to well. Once China takes Taiwan, they will start playing the colonial game wherever they can.
